From J.K. Street Civil War Letters, by Julie Coley 2004
....My Dear Ninnie - Sat Jan 17th, 1863 - I was over at the Texas Brigd to-day to see some of my old acquaintances and sent you a letter by a Mr Sentell, with instructions to mail at Marshal. Dear I had forgotten to state in a former letter that John McCarty (Uncle Mcs nephew) was severly wounded in both feet in the battle of Murfreesboro, by a minnie ball - same ball shot both feet. John stood up like a man while he was in the fight - was shot early in the morning Wednesday...
... Wednesday Dec 9th, 1863 -John McCarty is discharged from service, and will start home this evening or tomorrow. I send you this letter by him. I got up a subscription paper this morning, and carried thro' the ninth, for John and got ($177.00) a hundred and seventy seven dollars for him - could have gotten more if the boys hadn't most all been out of money, they haven't drawn now for some time. I believe all subscribed that had any money at all. With what money the Government owes him, and what was donated to him he has ($450.00) four hundred and fifty dollars; to carry him home; which I recon will get him a chunk of a pony and carry him thro' all safe....
